Marianna
Honfleur, Nice +12
Hi - I'm Marianna! I love nature and animals. I'm athletic, but I don't have a favourite sport because I like to change things up and try new activities. The important thing is to be active. I love discovering secret and unknown places, and I'd like to be a citizen of the world to share experiences with friends old and new! As a nature enthusiast, I studied forestry and environmental sciences, and this is what attracts me most about the world: seeking out pristine, wild places and, of course, animals! I love exploring foreign cultures and experiencing them like a local, sharing unique and unforgettable moments! Travel is part of my life; every place I visit is a discovery within me. My favourite destinations: • Asia (Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam) • Africa (South Africa, Zimbawe, Botswana, Morocco, Egypt, Horseback trekking) • USA (Metropolises, itinerant & coast-to-coast trips, Park Tours and Monument Valley) • Europe (Italy, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Greece) I can help you find exclusive places and unforgettable experiences!

Arianna
Alba, Turin +1
Hi there! My name is Arianna. I am translator and Italian teacher with a deep-rooted passion for the landscapes of Piedmont. I was born and raised in Alba, the heart of the Langhe, but I have also lived for several years in the vibrant city of Turin, where I obtained my MAs in Translation and Audiovisual Translation. This has given me a dual perspective on both our rural traditions and the urban pulse of the region. I have spent my entire life exploring the hills of Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato. My bond with this land is both personal and specialized — I even trained as a sommelier purely out of passion to better understand our world-class viticulture. Whether it’s the historical streets of Asti or the hidden trails of the Roero, I know these areas not just as a resident, but as someone who truly lives and breathes the local culture.
